A big plus point is the excellent delivery service on wozukochen.at - very reliable and informative. I think the only place in town where you know who has prepared your meal, when it was despatched to your place, and what the mobile number of the delivery guy is.

Could be better, but four stars just because I can't give three-and-a-half.

Service not exactly warm. Seems to be coasting on its reputation.

Its future seemed in doubt following the retirement of its long-time operator, but after a lengthy closure and re-design by Terence Conran it has once again opened its doors. While something has been lost in its translation to *wallpaper-dom, it's still unpretentious, the food (nicely presented traditional fare) has improved and it opens 23 hours a day!

Small but beautiful, the food is lovingly prepared by the wonderful Patricia, who is always ready to suggest the perfect glass to accompany.

The chef prepares basic Austrian (in particular Vorarlberg) food with a twist. Wines are good and staff are friendly.

Curry is a bit bland, soups vary. Not much space in the shop.

Following a refit is one of the more comfortable places to watch a film in the inner districts.

The menu deals in simple meat-'n'-rice type dishes with sides fried in palm oil. The atmosphere is great, the place is well appointed with modern touches and good music and the owner is extremely welcoming.

at least it has a bit of character and atmosphere. The flatbreads are good too.

I find it amusing to see someone complain that there are too many people and it's a bit closed away and dark - I thought that was the point of this place! Personally I like crowds of people - quite unusual for Vienna, which can be quite empty.

It may surprise if your idea of Japanese cuisine is just sushi.

Drinks are good, food is not bad, breakfast in particular is worth checking out. Even better now that the building works around Karlsplatz have come to an end.

What it does not offer, unfortunately, is French food on a larger scale. Can get crowded.

My money is on this finally exploding over the next year and becoming the next sushi: something that it took ages for Austrians to get into, and then suddenly became impossible to get away from.

Super fresh, high quality sandwiches. In the UK or Ireland you can find many little take aways of this nature, but very few in Vienna. Really fills a gap in a market dominated by boring rolls from chain bakeries such as Strock or Anker or kebabs etc.

At any rate, it is one of the most original and exciting venues in Austria, with great music and a relaxed (if occasionally wannabe-bohemian) atmosphere.

Vienna doesn't usually do mass drinking establishments well, but this is one place to satisfy the visitor expecting a Munich-style experience in Austria's capital. Service is brusque but that's fine when you're sitting in the afternoon sunshine with a big beer.

The boutique on the ground floor is amazing in Vienna - what, I can actually buy clothes in the evening?! Is that ths sound of society collapsing?

Not in the centre, so tends not to get visiting business people so much as those with longer term plans of some kind. Plenty of Austrian clientele too. Good beer selection, great pub food, fun quiz night on Thursdays.

At least it exists. Best English-language bookstore in the country.

The Lion Rampant does it all perfectly - excellent selection of beers, many of which cannot be found anywhere else in town. As a Scottish pub there are, needless to say, many whiskies on offer. Food is a step above other pubs in the city.

Younger members of staff seem to quake in the presence of London-born Kurt.

Food is really not bad, and the atmosphere can be quite pleasant.

The chip card system - though criticised by some reviewers here - at least makes it possible to have a decent lunch during your allotted lunch hour! The problem with waiters in Vienna - at least sometimes - is that they have a habit of ignoring you when you need them most.
